What's included.

Customs clearance is what we do every working day. The mechanics — Bill of Entry on ICEGATE, e-Sanchit document upload, IRN linking, duty payment, RMS channel handling, out-of-charge release — are routine. The judgment calls inside it are not.

  • 8-digit ITC-HS classification with CBIC circular and notification cross-check
  • Duty computation: BCD + SWS + IGST, and any AIDC, ADD or Compensation Cess
  • e-Sanchit upload of all supporting documents per CBIC schema
  • ICEGATE Bill of Entry filing — Home, Bond, Warehouse or Ex-Bond as applicable
  • RMS channel handling — green, yellow or red — with query response strategy
  • Out-of-charge release and gate-out coordination at the chosen ICD or port
  • Document archive for SVB, post-clearance audit and CBIC scrutiny

FAQ

Common questions

How long does customs clearance take in India?

For a clean RMS-green consignment with documents in order, out-of-charge typically issues within 24–48 hours of vessel arrival at JNPT/Mundra or rail-in at ICD Tughlakabad. Yellow-channel adds query-response time. Red-channel adds physical examination. PGA holds (BIS, FSSAI, WPC) add their own timelines, which is why we pre-clear those before the shipment lands.

Do I need a customs broker, or can I file Bill of Entry myself?

Indian law allows self-filing if you are an importer holding a Self-Sealing Permission and meet other CBIC criteria. In practice, the vast majority of importers use a CBLR-licensed broker because BoE filing involves real-time classification calls, query responses to assessing officers, and PGA coordination — all of which compound risk if mishandled.

Which is better — ICD Tughlakabad or JNPT direct?

For Delhi NCR-bound cargo, ICD Tughlakabad is usually the right answer because rail-haul cost is bundled in shipping line tariff and customs clearance happens at destination ICD. JNPT direct makes sense only for time-critical or oversized cargo. We'll advise on a case-by-case basis.
